[QUOTE="schweb, post: 513969, member: 59"] I doubt iChat will support MSN anytime soon. Right now it supports AIM, ICQ (through the AIM protocol), GoogleTalk, and Jabber. If they add support for another one, I would bet with you that it will be Yahoo Messenger before MSN. Yes, they do and they have. Legally and technically, they can stop anyone they want from using their service. A few years back when software like Trillium and Adium were trying to build in support most of the IM companies started blocking them and threatened them with lawsuits. In today's world, the IM companies have changed their outlook on other IM clients and tend to leave them alone. But a company like Apple won't build it in without Microsoft's legal and technical blessing. [/QUOTE]
